.Mac Backup Update Coming?
With the new .Mac updates offered on Tuesday, it appears Apple is prepping an update to their Backup software.
Apple's .Mac Backup page shows a screenshot from a newer version of Backup which provides some new backup options called "Essential .Mac", "Complete Archive" and "iPod Safety Net".
iPod Safety Net appears to allow you to backup data to your iPod.

Good, but two things:
Won't Time Machine render this useless and
WHERE ARE MY .MAC WIDGETS?!

I think you mean "complete archive"
I can't wait for all the new dotmac stuff, I think it's totally worth the $100, but my storage still says 1GB, so I will be patient.
edit:wow, I fixed my own spelling error, I hope no one caught it

They are never coming. Time to accept it.

If true, this is really, really exciting stuff!! I am paranoid about my backups and I would love these new features.

yeah, this seems silly.
With Time Machine coming so soon, why update Backup? I'm awaiting its arrival, as Backup is a pretty bad app. Its archive based system regularly fails, and is not at all reliable to use for essential items (i.e. anything worth backing up in the first place).
Plus, how can something like this compare to seeing your files IN SPACE!!!:p

I'm curious how many of you actually use this service? will it be a worthwhile investment?

i have had no problems with backup, it backs up every day, my major apps docs and keychains, contacts, calendar, bookmarks, email, etc to .mac and full backups once a month to my Air disk. Never had a problem. Also isn't time machine a search engine? Back up is in case of hd failure or losing you laptop
How does time machine help with that?

I could be wrong, but here is my impression about the differences between Backup and Time Machine:
Time Machine requires a second HD connected to your Mac and works a bit like a hybrid of a cloning program and search engine combined.
Backup has the ability to archive data not only to a wired drive, but also your virtual HD on your .Mac account.
I have heard nothing about Time Machine being able to archive to web based accounts.
Peace,
Brett

This is different from Time Machine because you can back it up online, which is safer than backing up to an external HD.
